Obama First Term Approval Among Lowest in Post World War II Era

- President Barack Obama averaged 49.1% job approval during his first term in office, among the lowest for post-World War II presidents. Only Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford had lower job approval averages. Obama’s first-term average is most similar to Bill Clinton’s. Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy, and Dwight Eisenhower were the most popular first-term presidents.

Imagine how low he’d be if he didn’t have 99% of the media giving him a daily tongue bath. See how much more popular George W. Bush was? Bet you miss him now.
